Bike Sizing Session

Are you thinking about buying a shiny new bike but are uncertain about getting it right?

Are you Asking yourself, “What size bike do I need?” or “What style frame should I buy?”

Buying a new bike can be a challenging expensive process. Understanding what frame would fit best is not easy. To add to that the new modern-day bicycle often has a proprietary handlebar assembly or maybe even a one-piece mono bar. The Size Cycle Session can answer all your questions. Crank length, stem length, bar width, frame stack & reach, steer tube length for handlebar drop, saddle height, and brand and model of the saddle can all be answered with confidence.

Are you maybe thinking about “Buying a bike online”? Consider that manufacturers have evolved their sizing charts and designs over the years. Buying a new $8,000 bike from a sizing chart leaves a lot to chance. These charts can not understand the details associated with the best size and fit for you. Fit first with a size session, then buy the right bike.

How Does It Work?

In this service, we start with a sizing session on the Purely Custom Size Cycle. Through the professional process, we can then begin to find the best possible frame which allows you to be in the best possible cycling position. Once this is completed, we then use Stack and Reach to mathematically understand which real-world bikes will best re-create that position for you. Then we will establish a list of bikes to go and demo ride or provide some better peace of mind for that online purchase.

Once the purchase has been made, you can return to the BC Bike Fit studio for your final fitting.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO THE FIT SESSION?

Cycling Clothing and Cycling shoes should be worn during your Size Session. Cycling shorts and a jersey or snug-fitting top are best.

Lake Shoe Session

During your complimentary LAKE shoe session, we will go through a professional approach to truly finding a shoe that fits the shape of your foot. All too often riders are complaining about foot discomfort that often is the result of a shoe that is too narrow. LAKE is the best at understanding not just length but also the width and overall shape of the rider’s foot.

I will take the time to understand what type of riding do you do and what shoe will best meet your needs.

Then we will measure your foot to get a better understanding of the shape and width. From here we will try on some LAKE shoes to begin to see what is going to work.

After you have decided on the shoe I can install the cleat and get you up on your bike for a front-view pedal stroke assessment. This gives us a chance to really evaluate the fit and feel and how the cleat position feel.

At BC Bike Fit we get you set up so that you are Ride Ready!

What to bring to your LAKE shoe session

Bike, cycling shorts and please bring along the old shoes so we can see what you have been using.

This is a great service for those looking for performance, efficiency, and comfort.

Cleat not included

Foot Pedal Session

One area where BC BikeFit differentiates itself from other fit systems is our focus on the foot-pedal interface. For example, an average cyclist completing a 100 mile ride (“a century”) will have rotated the pedals 54,000 times* their legs/feet are clearly doing a lot of work. That is why BC Bike Fit places so much emphasis on the foot/pedal connection.

Recent studies show 96% of all cyclists are misaligned in their connection to the bicycle, decreasing comfort, and efficiency which can lead to all kinds of problems one in particular is knee pain. We can move a little on the saddle and re-locate our hands on the bar but once the cleat is engaged into the pedal there is very little movement. This is why the cleat has to be position correctly for optimal performance, efficiency and comfort and reducing the possibly of an injury.

Book your 1 hour Foot/Pedal session today and make this contact area a positive and powerful one. You can bring in your existing pedals and shoes and get that system re-set. Or, BC Bike Fit sells shoes, pedals and cleats if this is needed. If you buy a pair of LAKE cycling shoes the Foot Pedal session is complimentary with that purchase.

Don’t over look the importance of the Foot Pedal interface, book your Pedal session today, contact Dave.
